Ep. 192 ”Human Chess” (Diary Entry 1:2 with Byron Brooks)

In order to title this podcast, an article was referenced on Goldcomedy.com, entitled: "How Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu can make you a better comedian", by Dagmara Citron. (Just a bit of light reading, in case you'd like to learn more.)

You see, the focus of this week's podcast is Byron Brooks; A BJJ instructor at Ground Control Owings Mills and a stand-up comedian.

It was an honor to finally talk more with Byron and learn more about his beginnings in both BJJ and stand-up. He's a very talented guy as he also is a graphic designer.

This show is so grateful for the guests, the listeners and all that's transpired in 2023. Merry Christmas Listeners! 2024 is going to be amazing.

If you have nothing to do for New Year's Eve, check out Byron at Charlie's Goodnights Comedy Club in Raleigh, NC.

X : TheApprenticeshipDiaries~We were suspended from Twitter but now that it's "X" we decided to delete the past and move forward; Trusting that the information is out about what happened (so the story stays straight). Let it be known that this wasn't a confession of guilt; Rather a movement made where none was happening. Twitter was a past life... We move forward on X.
